iPhone 4 Orders Give AT&T Its 2nd Privacy Scandal

[nekatreven]

I heard from a friend who does first round dsl support for them, as well as from a few of my customers, as well as from another agent on the line with support...(catch breath)...

that whatever went down ALSO borked thousands of associations between dsl customer's modems, and their primary email account/PPPoE account.

[citation][nom]joebob2000[/nom]Who's saying (authoritatively) that they didn't test it? Sounds more likely that, given the allegations of fraud issues, they found themselves under attack by someone who found a way to skew their web forms and allow known logins to cross into other database data. After that's accomplished, all the attacker has to do is fire up a script running through the login sequence gobbling up private info. It would take a horrifically badly written web app to fail in such a way that it just started accidentally sharing private info with anyone who logged in. Then again, maybe their best guys are in the App Store testing team making sure that the latest round of ipad-compatible fart apps run with blazing efficiency.flame suit ON[/citation]
So what you are saying is they have bad web designers AND they don't test things?

Having too many people want your product is not a bad thing. I'd rather have my servers overloaded with people trying to buy my things than to have my servers sit there with 1% CPU usage.

AT&T and Apple are probably high-fiving each other right now.

ok, im fully prepared to get flamed for conspiracies or whatever, but does anyone besides me think it is plausible that Apple is behind this to build a case for when their exclusivity ends. we all know that they'd make a killing with an Iphone on an open market and their loyalty to AT&T was waning before all this with Jobs taking shots at their network.
like i said, flame if you want, but thats how corporate America works sometimes. plus, a former vice president IS on their board of directors...

Wow i think i dislike AT&T more than Apple now.

My prediction is that this 3rd party informant will have his house raided by the FBI and they'll find drugs.

LOL! My thoughts exactly.

How would a third party know if there was testing done?
